Month: May 2016

It seems the New York Times is sounding the warning bell to all its readers about the inherent dangers of – world citizens being able to surf the net without being inundated with advertisers shouting at them from their smartphone screens.

To the New York Times, this is a very bad thing. Hmmm….

According to the article, written by Big Brother NYT’s advocate Mark Scott, ad-blocking software threatens the very nature of Net Neutrality. Hmmm…

If we’re watching TV and a commercial comes on and we choose to push the mute button or hit the fridge for a snack, would Theorist Mark Scott propose that we viewers are depriving a network of our potential revenue? By watching a TV program are we contractually obligated to watch their commercials? Are we NOT allowed to Tivo through the commercials?

Or is the New York Times, whose Exec. Editor Dean Baquet recently fired off a salvo against publishing “real” news and instead appealing to the “clickbait” crowd, really afraid of consumers being given the freedom to choose how to surf the internet and what they choose to read without having Corporate Propaganda shoved down their throats?

In a special report on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow and her investigative (sic) team came out with a revealing show-and-tell program complete with papier-mache’ props of the Watergate complex and Ken dolls representing the break-in crew. In Maddow’s hurly-burly re-creation and with some manipulated voice recordings said to be from the ghost of Rose Mary Woods – Nixon’s loyal secretary – Maddow has cleared the beloved 37th President of the United States from any criminal culpability. And, Maddow states, that includes lying during his infamous “Checkers” TV speech.

“I broke down and cried during Dick Nixon’s ‘Checker’s’ speech. It was so inspirational, it was what made me want to become the TV journalist I am today,” Maddow said.

In other news, after the release of the Department of State’s Inspector General’s damning report on Hillary Clinton’s abuse of email servers and not turning over emails and refusing to cooperate with the IG’s investigation when Clinton stated multiple times she and her staff would “fully cooperate,” Maddow exonerated the former Secretary of State, then stacked a large pile of papers on her desk, threw them in the air and declared, “Nothing wrong there!”

We may be weary from this pathetic 2016 Presidential Race but it’s not from lack of paying attention.

Rather, Americans are tired of the smoke, mirrors, and fireworks the media has constructed around this most important 2016 election. We are, if you will, not unlike Dorothy and her crew witnessing the bombastic crapola of the Wizard of Oz all the while knowing it’s all a lie and a sham put on by the little people of the media behind their curtains.

Hillary Clinton’s limping toward the finish line getting weaker and weaker. Brings to mind the sad video of that marathon runner a while back who soiled themself while crawling across the finish line. Last night at a rally Clinton was so lackluster in a feeble attack on Trump – raspy-voiced, whispering practically as she read off a card – that she couldn’t muster applause from her own crowd. (Meanwhile, it was up to the Real Thing Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) to deliver a rousing, podium-busting Trump-bashing that was a hit on YouTube.)

People all over America are ready to get activated, ready to campaign, ready to get on the bandwagon and turn out in force – But NOT for tired, business-as-usual, I’m-so-paranoid-I-need-my-own-email-server-in-my-basement-bathroom, millionairess Hillary Clinton.

And this is what the forces of the Democratic Party are shoving down the throats of Thinking Americans.

Bernie Sanders might not have programs that are entirely feasible, but what he does have is genuine Idealism and Enthusiasm for his candidacy. Just listen to his stump speeches. He’s a believer. That’s why he’s energizing millions of young and old people around the country. That’s why he’s winning primaries – wins that the National Media Outlets then refuse to acknowledge in their day-after coverage. (Look it up!)

The Democratic Party has frozen Sanders out of their party. So short-sighted. The Clintonistas – those who abhor change – fear Bernie Sanders.

And by that equation, they are freezing out the millions and millions of Americans who want real and substantive change in America. The Democratic Party is insisting on shoving at America a Clinton candidate who has historically the greatest negative ratings of any Democratic candidate in recent history – How is that even responsible leadership from the party? Especially facing the greatest threat to real Democracy that Donald Trump represents?

Apparently, the Powers That Be in the Democratic Party are ready to throw away the interests of this country for the sake of…their own personal agendas.

Is that any more corrupt than what Trump is promoting?

Yes, in a time when Economic Inequality was the biggest topic of conversation in the nation, the Democratic Party saw fit to crown a candidate – Clinton – who earned $22 million between 2013-15 for doing nothing but giving 15 minute speeches to multinational corporations. Many of whom did business with associates of she and her husband, Bill.

And it was Bernie Sanders who finally forced Hillary Clinton to accept the fact that Americans need a Living Minimum Wage during this campaign…

With the horrendous Donald Trump on the other side running for President, if the Democrats insist on putting up the very flawed Hillary Clinton, there might just be enough ugly Americans out there to swing the election a very ugly direction.
